Reqwest lets you choose between async or not. It has a "blocking" module with a similar API, but no async functions.

https://docs.rs/reqwest/0.11.2/reqwest/blocking/index.html

(Maybe this uses async rust under the hood, but you don't have to care about it)

It is not a question of whether something is blocking or not, blocking is easy. It is a question of whether you can have asynchronicity without await/async. And you can, using mio, as jstrong suggested. You'll manually poll the event loop.
